Peculiar Freaks of Lightning.

A heavy thunder storm came up
while Charles Kinzleman was cutting
grass for his cow on Col j. III. Dicks
farm, near Fredericksburg, Dauphin
county, Pa. The cow was standing
30 feet away, tethered by q rope.
Kinzleman started for the house with
his scythe on his shoulder. He had
taken but a step or two when there
came flash of lightning, and he felt
his scythe jerked violently from his
hand. On looking around he saw his
COW lying on the ground with the
scythe blade buried in her side.
Kinzleman felt no shock. The cow
was dead, but whether killed by the
lightning or by the scythe, which had
evidently been struck by the
electric fluid and hurled against her,
is not known, as no marks were
found upon her except the wound
made by the scythe blade.
James Smyth, of Maryann, Indiana
county, during the same storm took
refuge in his barn. He sat down
near two horses, and in shed ad-
joining were three pigs. A binding
fash of lightning came and the horses
and three pigs fell dead. Smyth was
not harmed. The strange part of the
occurrence was that no marks could
be found on the animals, and no ev-
idence was apparent anywhere that
lightning had struck the barn or
shed.

The Great Curse.

These words of wisdom are from
recent address of Grand Master
Workman Powderly. We would
that every workingman in the coun-
try would read and heed them:-
"Now, a word about the great curse
of the laboring man-strong drink.
Had 1 100000 tongues and
throat for each tongue, / would say
to each man, woman and child here
tonight: Throw strong drink aside
as you would an ounce of liquid hell.
1t sears the conscience, it destroys
everything it touches, it reaches into
the family circle and takes the wife
you have sworn to protect, and drags
her down from her pinnacle of purity,
into that house from which no decent
woman eyer goes aliye. 1t induces
the father to take the furniture from
the house, exchange it for money at
the pawn shop, and spend the pro-
ceeds in rum. It damns everything
it touches. l have seen it in every
city west of the Mississippi. and I
know that the most damning curse to
the laborer is that which gurgles from
the neck of bottle. | had rather be
at the head of an organization having
100000 ten perate, honest earnest
men, than at the head of an organiza-
tion of $4,000. 900 drinkers, whether
moderate or any other kind.

Bleeding His Country.

From Youths Companion.l
Lord Chesterfield is better known
By the "Letters to His Son." in
which be shines as master of deport-
ment, than by his diplomacy and ora
tory. Yet in his day, he was called
the British Cicero" and was trusted
with such fine diplomatic work as
that illustrated by this anecdote:
A certain nobleman had talents,
learning and influence; but he had
one vanity-the desire to be thought
skillful in physic and an expert in
bleeding.
1t was once thought necessary to
have this noblemau's vote for a GER
tain bill before the House of Lords,
and the task of securing it was assign
ed to Chesterfield. He knowing the
noble lords foible, called on him one
morning After brief conversation
upon the weather and other trivial
topics, Chesterfield complained of q
headache, and asked the nobleman to
feel his pulse.
The noble lord instantly laid his
fingers on his visitors wrist, said his
pulse was too high, and suggested
that the loss of little blood would
give relief.
II have no objection, my lord"
answered Chesterfield; "and, as |
hear your lordship has mastery
hand, will you favor me by trying
your lancet on me?"
The visitor, having been bled, ask
ed: "Do you go to the House, to-day,
my lord?"
81 did not intend to CO." answered
the nobleman, "as | am not informed
as to the merits of the question which
is to be debated You doubtless
have considered it; which side do
you favor?"
Chesterfield, having gained the
nobleman's confidence by humoring
his vanity, easily Influenced his judg
ment. He then carried him to the
House and secured his vote tor the
bill
"None of my friends" said the wit,
"have done as much for the country
as have, for | have literally bled for
it," He exhibited devotion to his
party, but the act was INSCRIPTIONS,
and an honest man would not have
done it.

Not Drunk at the Top.

The other evening, On one of the
suburban trains going out of Boston,
there was we'll known vocalist. who
appropriated to his sole use and COM
fort two seats. While this luxurious
wayfarer was enjoying SO much room
there entered the car q man consider
ably under the influence of liquor.
The inebriate could find no available
seat save that which the first men,
toned passenger had appropriated,
and going up to the latter the
bibulous traveller said: "Move over,
please (hic), 1 want seat" The
other glanced up with look of in
tense scorn, but did not deign further
notice just then of his interlocutor.
The intoxicated individual returned
again to the charge with, Cant you
move over (hic) and give fellow a
seat?" "No, | can't and won't; you
are drunk" was the curt re-
sponse. "Well," stammered the
other 81 know Pm drunk (hic), but
I'll get over that. You're hog, and
will never get over it."

Things Well to Know and Dc
Good housekeeping.

Good housekeeping.
Hot sunshine will remove scorch.
The best liquid for cleaning old
brass is solution of oxalic acid.
Kerosene applied to unused stoves
will keep them from rusting.
A damp cloth dipped in common
soda will brighten tin ware easi.
ly. :,
To clean knives: Cut small
potato, dip it in brick dust and rub
them.
Grease may be removed from silk
by applying magnesia to the wrong
side
New iron should be gradually heat
ed at first, it will not be SO likely to
crack.
Paint splashes may be removed
from window panes by a very hot
solution of soda, using soft flannel
rag.
Mildewed linen may be restored
by soaping the spots, and while wet
covering them with powdered
chalk.
To extract paint from clothing:
Saturate the spots with spirits OF
turpentine; let it remain several
hours. then rub it and it will drop
off.
Jayalle water is Indispensable in
laundry work; dip any stains in it for
q moment, then in boiling water, and
they will disappear, If any yellow
ness remains, bleach.
Boiling water made strong with
ammonia and applied with a whisk
broom, cleans willow chairs admlra-
bly,. Soap should never be used, as
it turns them yellow.
Ammonia greatly lessons the work
of cleaning kitchen utensils, and OF
washing windows. Rubbing a Brus-
sells carpet with strong ammonia Will
brighten it and remove stains.
Lamp burners that have become
dim and sticky, can be renovated by
boiling them in strong soda water,
using tin tomato can for this pur-
pose: then scour the burners with ga
polio and they will be as good as
new.
Copperas dissolved in boiling
water, will instantly cleanse iron
sinks and drains. A few drops OF
spirits of turpentine mixed with
stove -blackiag. lessons labor, and
adds polish. Kerosene in cooked
starch Ga teaspoonful to quartz will
prevent clothes sticking to the irons,
and gives a gloss, the scent evapor-
ates in the drying. Powdered borax
is good, if one decidedly objects to
the smell of kerosene,

What to Teach Our Daughters.

AT social gathering some one pro.
posed this question:: What shall
teach my daughter?" The following
replies were handed her.
Teach her that 100 cents make q
dollar.
Teach her to arrange the parlor and
the library.
Teach her to say No" and mean
it, or "Yes," and stick to it.
Teach her how to wear a calico
dress, and wear it like a queen
Teach her how to sew on buttons,
darn stockings and mend gloves.
Teach her to dress for health and
comfort as well as for appearance.
Teach her to cultivate flowers aud
to keep the kitchen garden.
Teach her to make the neatest
room in the house.
Teach her to have nothing to do
with Incorporate or dissolute young
men.
Teach her that tight lacing is un-
comely as well as injurious to health.
Teach her to regard the morals
and habits, and not money, in select
ing her associates.
Teach her to observe the old rule:
"a place for everything and every
thing in its place"
Teach her that music, drawing and
painting are real accomplishments in
the home and are not to be neglected
if there be time and money for their
use.
Teach her the important truism:
That the more she lives within her
income the more she will save, and
the further she will get away from
the poor house.
Teach her that good, steady,
church going mechanic, farmer, clerk,
or teacher without cent is worth
more than forty loafers or non-prO-
ducers in broadcloth.
Teach her to embrace every op-
portunity for reading, and to select
such books as will give her the most
useful and practical information in
order to make the best progress in
earlier as we'll as later home and

Talking of skeletons reminds me
that veterinary surgeons are getting
to be remarkably well educated lot
of men, and require about the same
appliances for study that physicians
like US do. There is a growing de-
mand for horse and dog skeletons.
Horse skeletons are kept in stock and
sell for from Sl35 to $3.50 There
is no regular trade in dog skeletons,
but when a call comes the dealer has
one made to order, aud charges ac-
cording to the trouble If you want
one, you can probably get it for $50"

HOW TO GET ALONG.

Trip lightly over trouble,
Trip lightly over wrong
We only make grief double
By dwelling on it long.
Why clasp woes hand so tightly,
Why sigh o'er blossoms dead,
Why cling to forms unsightly,
Why not seek Joy instead?
Tip lightly over sorrow,
Though all be dark,
The sun may shine tomorrow,
And gayly sing the lark;
Fair hopes have not departed,
Though roses may have fed;
Then never be down hearted,
But look for joy instead.
Trip lightly over shadow,
Stand not to rail at doom;
We've pearls to string, of gladness,
On this side of the tomb;
While stars are nightly shining,
And heaven is overhead,
Encourage not repining,
But look fer joy instead.

CHAPTER V.

Our engagement was not kept SC.
erect. The old gentleman readily
gave his consent, declaring that
Lanette's choice was his choice
Mrs. Gosman had very little to say
but shimmering like piece of satin,
said she had no objection to me.
One day, about two weeks from the
time appointed for our marriage, |
decided to go over and catch a few
trout. Bob was not at home, and as
the distance was too great for Lanette
to walk, | concluded to go alone.
"You must be back by four
O'clock" said Lanette.
"But how am | to know? have
no watch"
Couldn't you take the clock under
your arm"
Hardly"
"Wait. Bob has q watch upstairs
He never wears it, but [ don't sup
pose he would care if you were to
take it. Just wait minute, and I'll
wind it up and set it."
A few moments later she returned
with the watch | could scarcely re-
press and exclamation; J.L H." en-
graved on the case. / said nothing,
but after leaving the house | examin-
ed the watch. 1t was mine, unmis-
takably. Could it be possible that
Bob was one of the train robbers? /
was so disturbed that, taking no in-
terest in fishing, | soon returned to
the house. AS l neared the gate l
saw that Bob had returned. Seeing
me, he came forward and said
"Lanette tells me that she let you
take my watch"
Eyes, here it is"
"Of course 1t is safe in your hands,
but"

time, except snOrtly AFTER tne arrival
of a French line steamer, when o
fresh importation might increase the
stock temporarily. Not less than 300
of these skeletons are sold every year
right here in this city, where all the
important houses are located. /
want to emphasize the fact that the
importing houses are located right
here. because Chicago House and a
concern in Boston both advertise
skeletons of their own importation,
when the custom house returns do
not show any consignments of such
goods to either house. This attempt
to take away part of New York's
prestige as a trade centre ought to be
disco uraged.
1n addition to this staple trade in
medium grade skeletons there is an
increasing demand for deformities.
Your skeleton with two fractures of
the collar bone, if perfectly healed,
would bring S. extra, but if accom-
panied by the certificate of reput-
able physician like myself, stating
how the bone was broken, would
bring $40 extra. The added price
would be for the certificate as much
as for any intrinsic value of your
skeleton. If, now, you were afflicted
with curvature of the spine, or if you
were woman and the pelvis were of
a novel and unusual shape, your skele-
ton might, when well mounted, bring
as much as Sl75 or 5000. There are
cases Of deformities and abnormal
growths that are so remarkable as to
make the skeleton of the subject of
even still greater value. 1 could i'm
agine case very easily where o
mans skeleton would be of much
